    Hello Everyone,
    Today I did a 6 hour Detecting hunt at Brooklyn's Prospect Park. It was a very hot day. I made the big mistake of not bringing water to drink and at the end I became lightheaded, dizzy and weak :yack:
    The affects of dehydration :facepalm:

    I had a tough time getting home but I made it :hurting:


    In the very first half hour I did very well.

    1 - 1941 Silver Mercury Dime
    1 - 1883 Indian Head Cent
    1 - Silver .925 Ring

    I though that I was going to find more older US Coins but for some reason the rest were clad coins and 1 Nickel. Maybe because I moved to a different spot :(

    It is a pretty big haul -

    Boy. What determination. I can see you don't give up on your goal to metal detect, even if you have a heat stroke and are hospitalized. LOL

    I'm re-watching the 3 Season British Sit-Com the 'Detectorist' & would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the idea of 'treasure hunting'. (2014 Mackinsie Crook & Toby Jones)
    Highly enjoyable,
    J.T.
